Part 360 is the FMCSA fee rulebook for certain registration-related and insurance-related filings. It explains when filing fees are due, which filings are free, which filings require payment, how insurance-service accounts work, when fees are non-refundable, and why separate authority types may require separate fees.

The FMCSA fee rulebook for registration, insurance filings, authority costs, refunds, and payment rules.
Applies to carriers, brokers, forwarders, insurers, sureties, self-insurers, and authority applicants.
Some FMCSA filings carry fees, while common updates like biennial updates and BOC-3 designation list $0.
Insurance and surety filings may involve service-account fees, self-insurer fees, and accepted-instrument fees.
FMCSA filing fees are generally paid at filing through official payment channels like Pay.gov.
Accepted FMCSA filing fees are generally non-refundable, even if the filing is denied or withdrawn.
Separate authority types may require separate fees, filings, insurance, bonds, and compliance controls.
Fee waivers are limited and should not be assumed for normal private carrier or broker filings.
Common mistakes include scam mailers, refund assumptions, wrong entity, missing receipts, and authority-fee confusion.
A practical checklist for filing type, legal entity, official fees, payment proof, refunds, and insurance filings.
Fee mistakes can waste money, delay authority, and create setup problems before operations begin.
DispatchHQ helps carriers and brokers organize authority applications, payment receipts, BOC-3, insurance filings, broker bond records, reinstatement paperwork, DOT updates, and compliance calendars so small filing errors do not delay operations.
